If a pushrod is bent, it can still possibly activate the valve, but, if the pushrod is bent it is shorter than when it’s straight, therefore it won’t open the valve as far as it should.

Well don’t help any.
That’ll make it smoke and knock......
Be glad to fix it if you need someone to.

PM sent.
Talked to Zeb, he’s gonna hook me up and get the injector fixed. Knowing now that an injector tip cracked, it was diesel fuel that was pouring out of the turbo. I’m still gonna try the s471 turbo and see how I like it

Uhhhhh.....
Sorry, couldn't help myself.
Looks like you've got a recovery plan though. Nozzles aren't terribly expensive anyway.

i was hauling my 5er across the UP and it started doing that same thing as the op a long while back... i reached out to a couple people and they all said cracked nozzle too.. mind you this was after like 7 bent pushrods and not a single symptom acted identically to each one prior.. noise wasn't from intake at all and it was very very fant out the exhaust and it was noticeable standing in front of motor. So being that i had lots of practice getting tge valve covers off, i pulled into a gas station that had a dirt lot off to the side and obviously had spare pushrods at this time, like 9 more from a set of used ones i picked up lol, and tore into it.. #2 at the front of the motor had a bent exhaust pr but being it wa that far forward it was muffled out the exhaust and could here it knocking.. it was bent enough that it ate through the head gasket and was rubbing on the iron itself. I dont know how it was even possible it stayed running without locking up..
But with hydraulic lifters, they fill up with oil enough to keep some pressure on the valve a litte bit.

Is it a dumb idea to have a towing turbo and a sled pulling turbo? Since the gt42 is ok, and I got the 471, I thought about leaving the Garrett on while sled pulling season was out. Thing is, I want tighter housing on both but they both are the same mounts/piping. Just an idea.

That's the tradeoff to single turbo setups. If you dont mind swapping them out now and again, tear it up.
Got the truck going again. Big thanks to Zeb for helping me out. He is an option for any trouble your having. Give him a shout. I left the gt42 for now. Waiting on the 1.15 housing for the 471. The 1.32 won’t fit. Will the smaller housing be smaller on the outside as well? Maybe it will fit? IDK. Hope I got the oil leaks sealed up and the start then die problem solved.
